I am trying to use the proximity sensor function (Proximity0) in PSoC Creator.

The proximity function can read the value with CapSense_IsProximitySensorActive() in CapSense_Structure.c, but the proximity determination remains OFF. Please refer to the image below for the arguments (even though you put your hand close to the electrode sheet). ）

I think a scanning process will be required before proximity determination can be made, but in Capsense_Sensing.c

 CapSense_Scan calling (). Please let me know if there are any other APIs you need to call.

 

 

 

 

Dear Sirs and Madams,

We have a question about ExtClk clock settings in Bootloader project.

We are using CY8C4024AZI-S403 device with a UART Bootloader configuration in PSoC Creator 4.4 IDE.

In order to improve the clock accuracy of UART communication, The system clock is running with ExtClk.

When receiving a firmware update command from UART, the Bootloader is started by calling the Bootloadable_Load() API.

We have confirmed that the firmware update can be completed successfully if the Bootloader clock resource is IMO.

 < Bootloader project clock settings : IMO >

 However, firmware updates will not work properly if the Bootloader clock resource is set to ExtClk.

< Bootloader project clock settings : ExtClk >

*Note 1: Both projects correctly assign Bootloader.hex to Dependency of Bootloadble.           

Is it not possible to set the Bootloader clock resource to ExtClk in the UART Bootloader of PSoC4000S?

Since clock accuracy between target of PSoC4000S and the host is important for UART communication, We are considering using ExtClk instead of IMO.

Regards,

Dear Sirs and Madams,

We are considering to implement the PSoC4S MAX proximity sensor on a metal frame that is connected to the FG.

The image diagram is below:

When We verified the operation, the sensitivity of the proximity sensor of PSoC4S MAX is very poor because the metal frame becomes a strong ground.

Will the following two work as a countermeasure?

Please tell us the best way to use a proximity sensor in such a strong grounded metal frame.

(1) Use an insulating sheet

(2) Isolate PSoC4S MAX and proximity sensor ground

Regards,

I have a CY5676A PRoC BLE 256KB module that I'm trying to program with PSoC Creator, but I can't find it in the device selector. What additional add-on software do I need to install in order to use it with PSoC Creator?

Thanks!
